The paper describes the Navigation and Occultation experiment (NOX) onboard the German TET-1 technology demonstration satellite. NOX aims at the inflight validation of commercial-off-the-shelf technology for dual frequency GPS tracking. It will demonstrate the feasibility of precise navigation and scientific measurements for low budget missions. Following an overview of the TET-1 mission, the PolaRx2 GPS receiver selected for the NOX payload is presented along with a description of the pre-flight validation. The validation of the high-dynamics signal tracking in low Earth orbit and the environmental qualification program are described.
